This is NOT a 'national subreddit', but rather a general-interest subreddit for Japan and some related topics. Very few of our subscribers are Japanese. As a general rule we remove posts asking for opinions about what Japanese people think about various subjects.

Reposts & multiple threads on the same topic, especially current events, will be deleted.

Low-effort posts will be deleted. Repeat offenders will be banned. If you have a simple question, your first stop should be Google, not here.

In general, threads which should be posted in a more relevant subreddit (see list above) will be removed. This especially applies to travel photos/questions and language/translation questions.

Posts with no relation to Japan, posts not written in English, posts with vague/clickbait titles, spam (including affiliate links), and posts intended for personal gain (including crowdfunding links) will also be removed.

Whenever possible, a moderator or AutoMod will leave a comment in a deleted thread explaining why it has been removed. If you believe your post has been removed in error, contact the moderators.
